I played that lovely instrument for four and a half years. Or tried to, anyways. I really want to start playing again.

But I've also become interested in one of the violin's "cousins", the cello. And I owe that to the amazing Finnish group Apocalyptica, who got their start by doing classical, cello covers of Metallica songs, my personal favourite being "Nothing Else Matters":

You have to do it. I would play the cello. A friend of mine plays for the NY Philharmonic and he also plays of rock albums! What a great job.
